Seems Jonesboro citizens were complaining about the field burning problem in Craighead County. The field burning stopped about the time the announcement was made that former President Clinton would be making a speech in support of Governor Beebe in Jonesboro. I guess smoke and speeches donít go together. Call Beebe and ask him what he thinks about the field burning problem and then put it on this forum for everyone to read. Then call the Farm Bureau and ask them about the problem. They control the legislature pretty well.

<quoted text> God help us- the guy raised theincome tax 27 years ago? What in the world are you thinking? Or whatare you smoking?

Wasnít the only tax he helped pass either? Look at the bill in about 2000 that he helped pass which changed how the appraisals are done on property. It took control away from the people, where they had a right to vote for a new appraisal to be done in their district and set up automatic appraisals. It gave more power to the quorum court by taking away the voters right to vote for a new appraisal district appraisal. Also have you wondered where all the state surplus money has came from the last few years?

I just gave an interview to a reporter for the Paragould Daily Press newspaper which should run in a few days, and this evening I gave an interview to a reporter for the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, the state's largest newspaper, which he says should run tomorrow. The controversy was also featured on the Little Rock CBS affiliate tv news station's 6:00 news broadcast, and perhaps others.
